Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B lymphocytes, also known as B cells, are responsible for antibody-mediated immunity. They recognize and bind to foreign antigens and differentiate into plasma cells, which produce and secrete antibodies that specifically target and eliminate the invading pathogen. Thymosin is not involved in the activation of B cells. B cells do not differentiate into macrophages or bind with foreign antigen in association with self-antigen.
